When people have a plumbing problem, many try to fix it themselves. Though some small problems can be fixed DIY style, there are many jobs that should not be attempted and left only to a professional plumber. If you attempt to fix something that you are not qualified to fix, you can do it incorrectly and make the problem worse or make you home unsafe.
One job that you should never attempt on your own is installing a garbage disposal. Because they contain parts such as moving, grinding blades, it should be left up to a professional. Because of issues that DIY’ers have had when trying to install garbage disposals themselves, most companies have built them so that if they were not installed correctly they will not function.
If you are having issues with your water heater, you should definitely call a professional. One water heater issue that you should never attempt on your own is thermostat issues. If your water heater keeps blowing your circuits, always call a professional.
When a person’s pipes are clogged with lime, they may be tempted to try to take care of it themselves with chemicals. This is a mistake. If your plumbing drains into the septic system, the chemicals can kill the bacteria that is beneficial. These chemicals can also damage the pipes. A professional plumber will know how to flush out the pipes without damaging them or your septic tank.
Many DIY’ers will attempt a bathroom remodeling job themselves. It is possible to remodel your bathroom yourself, it is not always the best idea. Changing bathroom tile can be very time consuming. If you are changing your toilet bowl, it may seem easy but the toilet bowl itself is very heavy and there is plumbing involved. If you are attempting to move the plumbing to a different part of your bathroom, you should not attempt it yourself. Mistakes can be made and it can end up costing you more money.
